The time has arrived when the legion of
base ball lovers in Springfield can have their
final say as to whether or not they will have
base ball team in the Ohio league the rest
of the season. Mr.. Dick O'Brien. w7lo is
managing the project locally, has received
an extension of time until next Tuesday.
but at thattime Springfield must give a def
mite answer whether il will come into the
Ohio league or not. The other clubs are
very anxious that Springfield be- repre-
Sented and there is nothing to prevent but
the indifference of the people in the
morning with subscription paper. and If
$3.50 can be subscribed Springfield will take
the place in the league made vacant by the
disbandment of Steubenvile.
1t is earnestly hoped that base ball low
eTs in this city will rally TO the fore and do
something at this Juncture. Ii is now or
never, so far as this season is concerned,
and there is no reason why we cannot have
good games here the rest Of the season rs

This team could play splendid ball and
keep the rest Of the teams in the League
guessing all the time. Let the base ball
element of Springfield assert itself now and
enjoy some exciting sport yet tins season.
Arrangements have about been completed
for the use of the fair grounds in ease the
club is organized.

great Hooker it may be said: "Ot

one doubts it, how can that man who
studies and practises law IN all OF its
operation and phases be otherwise
than ennobled? How can that man
whose whole being IS permeated with
the spirit Of the law be otherwise
than a blessing TO society? The

How Easy Il.

How easy 1t is to spoil day,
The thoue ehtlcss words of a cherished
friend,
The selfish act Of a child at play,
The strength of a Will that will not
bend.
The slight of comrade, the scorn of a
foe,
The smile that is full of bitter things
They all can tarnish its golden glow,
And take the grace from It's airy wings.
How easy it is to spoil a day
BY the force of thought we did not
check!
Little by little We mould the clay,
And little flaws may the vessel wreck.
The careless waste Of whlte-winged
hour,
That hold the blessing we long had
sought,
The sudden loss of wealth or power
And 10, the day is with i'll inwrought.
How easy it Is to spoil a life
And many are spoiled ere well begun
In home Light darkcned by sin and strife.
Or downward course Of a cherished

By toll that robs the form of its grace,
And undermines till health gives way:
